[V8] C4 100 -- v8 interchange, and Front CV questions.

[Seamus O'Carey]

I was having trouble finding an online source fore them as well until it
suddenly occurred to me to try the local auto parts stores.  It turns out
O'Reilly and Napa both have complete half shafts for $60 (after core
charge).

O'Reilly:
http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/search/CV+Half+Shaft+!s!+Axle+Shaft/01424/C0362.oap?make=Audi&model=V8+Quattro&year=1990&vi=1009426
Napa:
http://www.napaonline.com/Search/Detail.aspx?A=NMD952163_0172982838&An=599001+599999+101990+109999+50004+59999+2004040+2999999+12811#

What I think is funny is that O'Reilly lists two different manufacturers
(Master Pro and Cardone) and Napa lists a third (MaxDrive), but all three
have identical pictures.

Only the Master Pro and MaxDrive half shafts have prices, but O'Reilly is
supposed to call me back in the morning with a price for the Cardone half
shaft.  I'm not sure what the difference is between any of them, but I'd
prefer Cardone just because I've heard of them before.
